I have no idea what stupid point citizen is trying to make in his post now but here's California liberal Willie Brown from a month back in his weekly column talking about Palin. Yes Willie loves Willie but the man knows his politics and for you political junkies go read some of Willie's archived columns. While there are definitely many local San Francisco based references he makes his overall insights are great.
Sarah Palin, political genius
The pundits are wrong. Conventional wisdom is wrong. Sarah Palin's decision to step down as Alaska governor was a brilliant move.
Palin has some of the best political instincts I have ever seen. She became a pop-culture superstar overnight when John McCain made her his veep pick, and she's still second only to President Obama among politicians the public is interested in. Even in liberal San Francisco, she'd be front-page news if she ever came to town.
But that kind of celebrity comes at a high price. What a lot of people don't know is that Palin entered Alaska politics as a reformer attacking the corruption of the state's Republican establishment. As such, she was the darling of the Democrats - until she hooked up with McCain.
After the election, with Palin back home but positioning herself for a 2012 presidential run, it was clear she would catch nothing but ridicule from Alaska's Democrats. It was not going to be pretty.
If Palin wants to play on the national field, she has to be free to move around. She has to be able to drop into Indiana, Ohio or Tennessee and help Republican candidates raise money. She has to be available for radio and TV.
She has to be like Gavin Newsom, free to roam around the country, safe in the knowledge that things will pretty much take care of themselves back home.
Instead, Palin faced the prospect of being constantly pinned down in a state that is a day and a half away from the rest of America. She would have been totally isolated in every sense of the word.
Now she can study up on issues where she is lacking and become a full-time political celebrity.
The pundits call her a quitter, but let's be honest - the pundits never liked her to begin with. Better to take one hit for stepping down and move on than to stay in Alaska and die a death by a thousand cuts.
Governor or not, Palin is still the biggest star in the Republican galaxy. After all, who else have they got?

And her selfproclaimed hypocritical belief in god.
Do you believe that god told Sarah to build the pipeline?
If so should not she make that a high priority in her life as a christian?
Or did she lie and use god for political purposes?
If I believed in god and he told me to do something. I kinda think I would do what the big guy says. Getting zotted is not fun.

So You have no reply on my post other than to insult me?
Did she lie or did her faith fail? It is one of the two.
And besides I WANT and we NEED the Alaska natural gas pipeline.
So you are dodging the issue and wrong as well.

I have said not one dishonest thing in this thread.
Sarah Palin said God told her to build the pipeline. I saw the video clip.
It is linked in a thread somewhere on here.
So did she lie about god telling her or is she a failed Christian?
Also, do you have any evidence that anybody at all except yourself ever claimed that God told her to build a natural gas pipeline?
(Although it may be a stroke of genius, we need to start converting cars to natural gas and stop sending our money to those who would attack us.)
I think you are misremembering.

I know that Damo, but don't try and take up for him on this. He is somewhat messed up on it.
